Think you’ve got what it takes to make Marshall University Marathon history?

This year, we’re offering $500 for any new course record - that means up to $2,000 could be awarded if all four course records are broken.

If multiple runners break the same record during the race, the bonus will go to the overall winner of that event.

Who’s ready to put their name in the record books? The challenge is there. Let’s set some new records!

The Marshall University Marathon is proud to introduce the Don Tillis Memorial Scholarship.

This $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a graduating high school senior from Ohio or West Virginia who plans to attend Marshall University this fall.

The scholarship honors Don Tillis, a runner, civil engineer, man of faith, and someone who truly lived life to the fullest. Don passed away while running the half marathon in 2024 doing something he loved. He was known for his incredible work ethic, generosity, and his desire to help others.

Through this scholarship, we hope to continue Don’s legacy by supporting a student who demonstrates strong character, determination, and involvement in their community.

If you know a high school senior planning to attend Marshall University, please share this opportunity with them.

Applications are open now and will be accepted through April 17, 2026.
